6 MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION: when repairing or replacing parts the “CE” label is guaranteed only if original
spare parts provided by the manufacturer are used.
The MATRIX II key-cutting machine does not need special maintenance, but it is good practice to check and if
necessary replace parts subject to wear: belts, lamp and vertical carriage spring.
Replacement operations are simple and can be performed by the operator.
CLEANING: it is advisable to keep the carriage and clamps clean by regularly brushing away the swarf deriving
from cutting operations.
ATTENTION: DO NOT USE COMPRESSED AIR!
ATTENTION: to maintain machine efficiency we recommend using protective oil such as
WD40 or similar to apply to the burnished mechanical parts. This will prevent oxidation of the
parts in question (clamps, guides, carriages...). Make sure the oil does not come into contact
with the electronic parts.
Before performing any type of maintenance (checks or replacements) read the warnings below:
• Do not perform any maintenance operations with the machine on.
•
Always disconnect the power lead.
•
Follow the instructions in the manual carefully.

7 DECOMMISSIONING
To decommission the machine it must be made unusable by:
• deactivating the power supply;
• separating the plastic parts from the metal parts;
After doing the above, dispose of the waste in compliance with the current directives in the country where the
machine is located.
Waste disposal
CEE regulations lay down special methods for disposing of waste (**).
Machine
MATRIX II is not only a durable machine, but is also re-usable.
Recycling is a good environmentally friendly practice.
Packing
The MATRIX II device is consigned in a cardboard packing box which can be re-used if undamaged. When it is
to be thrown away it is classified as solid urban waste and should be placed in the special paper collecting bins.
The protective shell containing the machine is in expanded polyethylene, classified as SUW, and can therefore
be placed in an ordinary waste.
Waste from key-cutting
Residue deriving from key cutting is classified as special waste, but can be included in solid urban waste (SUW)
as metaI scourers. This waste must be disposed of in the special collection centres according to its classification
by current laws in Italy and the European Union. If it is contaminated or contains harmful-noxious substances
which transform the metal residue included in SUW into harmful-noxious substances, it is included in the lists of
the appendices to current regulations in Italy and the European Union for waste disposal.
